The aforementioned hadith was deemed weak by Al-Albani in "Da'if al-Jami'". Al-Manawi explained its meaning as "Shukuran" signifying one who is very thankful to Allah, and "Saburan" meaning not to hasten in seeking revenge or general patience. "Make me small in my own eyes and great in the eyes of people" means a request for glorification from Allah to facilitate matters of vicegerency on earth.
